Invisible

Chapter 3

Mackenzie's POV

Once I hear my mom screaming at me I know she is drunk. I brace myself for the worst when I go downstairs. I walk downstairs carefully so I don't make her yell at me anymore then she already is.

She is very drunk, I can see her reaching for another drink. I walk into the kitchen silently. I want to just run and hide from her right then and there but I know that I can't.

She looks horrible. The once happy, caring, and loving person has been replaced with a monster. This is not the mom I used to come home to everyday. She was always smiling and laughing. But now in her eyes I see none of that, I see guilt, and sadness.

After my moms divorce with my dad, she started drinking to take the pain away. But it has not helped her at all, it has only hurt me to see her like this.

"DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO WASH THE DISHES!!!! YOU WERE TOO BUSY TALKING TO YOUR SLUT OF A FRIEND!!!"

This made me angry. Why would she say something like that about an innocent person like Destiny.

"Don't call her that!!!" I try and be as confident as I can, but let's face it when my mom is drunk she is scary.

"I CAN CALL HER WHATEVER I WANT!! STOP BEING SUCH A BITCH!!!" Her words hit me like a train, so fast that I almost didn't feel the hole that was burning inside my heart.

After what's seems like forever she speaks again. "GO TO YOUR ROOM!!"

The thing that most surprises me is that she didn't hit me, she didn't lay a finger on me.

I finally trudge up the stairs and run straight to my room. I quickly open the door and slam it shut, making sure that I lock it.

I lay there and cry, not just cry because she yelled at me, but because that we used to have a really good relationship before she started drinking. I remember the good laughs we used to have, and the tickle fights we used to have when I was a kid. But it was all different now, I couldn't do that with her anymore. My mom was gone.

The next morning I wake up my eyes puffy and wet, since I cried myself to sleep last night. I try and hide it with makeup but it doesn't work and I end up giving up.

I try and look decent today. I am wearing a Five Seconds of Summer t-shirt and ripped black skinny jeans. I slip on some converse to complete my look. I straighten my hair and put on some light makeup. I get my things and head out.

When I get to school I am taken back by all of the people. It is so crowded that people bump into me.

I see Destiny walk up to me and hug me. She is a very touchy person which could be a good thing or a bad thing. She looked at me and gasped, I didn't want her to draw any attention to me.

"What happened? Are you okay?" She asks taking me over to the corner so no one can hear us.

"Yeah I'm fine." I lie, I tend to do that a lot I really don't mean to do it. I guess it just happens.

"No you're not, don't lie to me Mackenzie Margret Hill." I hated it when she used my middle name. But that is how you can tell she was serious.

I have told her about my mom and she knows everything, but what my mom said about her was uncalled for. I don't want to tell her about it because I don't want to make her mad, or upset.

"Is it about your mom?" I nod, and look at my feet.

"Do you want to talk about it at lunch." I nod again still looking at my feet.
The bell rings and it time to go to first period.

I wonder what Brandon will think of me when I go to lunch with my eyes all puffy. Do you think he will stop being friends with me? So many thoughts run through my head, but I am taken out of them when my teacher starts talking.
